The Pi Kappa Phi brothers at North Carolina State University are not saying anything about a little, green book, filled with handwritten comments, including many that are sexually charged, racially insensitive and/or derogatory toward women and children.

Katie Perry, a senior, at State, told WRAL News that her co-workers found what appears to be a fraternity pledge book at a restaurant near campus.

"That's embarrassing and scary," she said of the book's contents.

The comments were signed in places, and the names match up to those listed as brothers on the Pi Kappa Phi website.

"This is just a group of 60-something young men at State making jokes about raping people, raping children, raping dead women, making very overt racist comments."

Calls to NC State's Tau Chapter of Pi Kappa Phi Thursday night went unreturned. No one answered at the fraternity's national headquarters in Charlotte, either.

At the fraternity's home on campus, no one answered the door, although people could be seen inside the house.

"They were all sitting in the living room, but when they saw me they made a bee-line for the back room," WRAL's Ken Smith said.

A short while later, someone inside completely closed the curtains. Smith also saw several young men leaving the house and driving away.

By 9:30 p.m., the list of brothers' names was removed from the Pi Kappa Phi website.

Excerpts from the book are disturbing.

"It will be short and painful, just like when I rape you," one page reads.

"If she's hot enough, she doesn't need a pulse," says another.

"That tree is so perfect for lynching," reads another.

"Be kind to the whales because they'll lead you to the dolphins," says a fourth.

I don't speak Greek, so when I didn't see sorority girl pics I decided to post this post in protest

3/20/2015 12:10:44 AM

I drove by campus today, damn I miss being a student.

3/20/2015 12:17:21 AM

Is there a one sentence synopsis? That's a lotta goddam words up there

3/20/2015 2:46:48 AM

Found pledge book has entries that are sexually charged, racially insensitive and/or derogatory toward women and children.

3/20/2015 6:50:38 AM

TIL that the kinds of guys who are in frats probably aren't my kind of people

SHOCKING

Lost notebook for a frat that contains sensitive information?

Sounds like a script for an awful coming of age movie

I used to wonder from time to time if I should've joined a frat during my tenure at NC State. Very brief considerations, but I've made them nonetheless, because I always used to make fun of frats.

But crap like this reinforces my decision to not purchase friends.

I joined a community service frat instead, which wasn't technically a part of greek life. That was a much better decision.

The national fraternity has suspended the chapter while the investigation is underway.

3/20/2015 7:28:15 AM

Same with Oklahoma. The national office knew/knows exactly what is going on. They're just saving face.

3/20/2015 7:29:01 AM

I guess someone's not gonna get in now.


and I kinda wanna see the book.


Also, if you have a book like that, why the fuck would you let it leave the house?

Why take it to a restaurant?

3/20/2015 7:40:01 AM

IBT "we have finished our investigation and have concluded that this was a prank from a rival fraternity"

Pi Kappa Phi won't be going back to Amedeo's anytime soon.

3/20/2015 8:23:00 AM

making pledges memorize offensive phrases is hardly something to get outraged over

3/20/2015 8:39:34 AM

Are you serious? Maybe if this were an isolated incident, but coming on the heels of what happened a few weeks ago, I bet this could blow up.

3/20/2015 9:27:36 AM

I'm not anti-frat or anything...but they should just get rid of all of them.

3/20/2015 10:44:12 AM

I think somewhere a pledge is getting his ass beat.

[conspiracy theory]
With how much Fraternity misconduct has been in the news lately, producing a book like this would be a great way to torpedo a rival group.

Another disappointment.

If it's the same one that posted on the student facebook page a few years ago, she had that thing in WRAL's hands and 3 blog posts about it posted before those guys got back to the house.

Frats are pretty lame without adding prejudices to the mix.

Moral of this story: Don't leave shit laying around.

3/20/2015 1:00:18 PM

leaving your pledge book at a restaurant? you better believe that's a paddlin'

Freshman year my roommate rushed TKE. They made him carry around this book (they called it a "poop book") all the time. The reason being that they were supposed to present the book on demand, but at the same time protect it from other TKEs trying to steal it.

FTR, while yes our pledges carry small notebooks around, they don't contain sketch material like what's being discussed in this thread.


Of course, that's exactly what you'd expect me to say

3/20/2015 2:59:08 PM

"He called the book, poop!"

3/20/2015 3:27:54 PM

$.50 for a payphone!?

3/20/2015 3:33:18 PM

all you TEKE's are lame.

3/20/2015 3:46:21 PM

all you TEKES is are lame?

3/20/2015 3:51:22 PM

I AM SO SICK AND TIRED OF HEARING ABOUT KATIE PERRY

3/20/2015 3:56:18 PM

Be kind to the whales.

3/20/2015 5:28:30 PM

I refrained from posting at all in the Oklahoma thread

nor will I post in this thread

3/20/2015 5:57:27 PM

I don't even get the context of the quotes. I'd be embarrassed if I ever thought those lines let alone put them in writing. Just odd...

Had a friend nearly get raped at a PiKa party (to be fair, never heard that it was actually a brother that was the guy in question)

3/21/2015 11:52:17 AM

Pi Kappa Alpha is no longer an active fraternity at NC State. Won't be again until at least 2016
